Java Performance Monitoring

Application slowdowns are revenue-impacting and can be complex to understand and solve. Many interdependent factors affect application performance and thereby the user experience (and your business): Issues at the user end, in the application code, in the database, in external services, and across the underlying infrastructure. Monitoring the Java application stack end to end is the key to ensuring peak application performance and user satisfaction.

Challenges

Java infrastructures are multi-tiered: Interdependencies between tiers make problem diagnosis a challenge. When a user complains of slowness, which tier is the cause of the problem: Web, Java, application code, database?

Java applications are virtualized: Applications are being deployed on virtual machines (VMs), containers, as microservices, or in the cloud. Resource contention among these components can lead to application slowdowns.

Java application frameworks are many and varied: Performance issues can arise from several server-side and client-side processing frameworks that are being used to accelerate application development.

Full Stack Java Monitoring with eG Enterprise

eG Enterprise provides a powerful and easy-to-use set of Java performance monitoring tools, enabling in-depth diagnostic capabilities to uncover complex and costly performance issues across the Java stack. From a single pane of glass, administrators can pinpoint the exact source of issues. Whether it is malfunctioning application code, remote method calls impacting transaction response time, blocked threads, memory heap issues in the JVM, or runaway threads consuming high CPU, eG Enterprise’s proactive alerts enable application architects, developers and IT operations personnel to easily diagnose application performance bottlenecks in a few seconds.

Using a combination of Web services APIs calls, JMX accesses and byte code instrumentation, eG Enterprise gathers performance metrics from Java applications. By analyzing these metrics in real time and correlating them, it highlights exactly how performance issues can be addressed. Also, the eG Enterprise solution is extremely cost-efficient because it is licensed by the number of servers, not by the number of JVMs.

Get Instant Code-Level Insights with Business Transaction Monitoring

Using an advanced tag-and-follow approach, eG Enterprise traces every business transaction (from web browsers and native mobile apps) that flows through the Java web and middleware tiers and allowing quick identification of the cause of transaction slowdowns.

Visually map the entire application run-time architecture and all inter-dependencies across all tiers (client, presentation, business logic and data)

Monitor availability, response time and errors for each transaction, hop-by-hop, across multiple JVMs

In a single click, drill down to identify application code-level issues, slow database queries and remote web service calls

Monitor the Infrastructure Supporting Your Java Applications

Application performance is often affected by anomalies in the underlying IT infrastructure, including the server operating system, hardware, hypervisor, network, and storage devices. Unlike other Java application monitoring tools, the eG Enterprise unified monitoring console provides visibility into every layer and every tier of the supporting IT infrastructure. A patented auto-correlation engine analyzes performance insights from disparate components, presents a visual topology map of the infrastructure including interdependencies across the various tiers, and pinpoints the root cause in seconds.

“With eG Enterprise, we can now quickly identify root causes of incidents, resolving them before users are impacted. Automatic prioritization and categorization of alerts helps us better focus on the important issues and prioritize our resources accordingly.”
